I feel so many times with clothing lines, they don't talk to women to see what they want.

Whatever's meant to be, will be. I'm a firm believer in that and I'll make it work.

I enjoy making people laugh and making them smile.

There's nothing like Christmas in New York.

I'm a believer in finding a passion, hard work and definitely not giving up on your dream.

My grandfather was extremely dark and from Puerto Rico, but his brother had blond hair and blue eyes. There are so many different shades, and I think Hollywood has yet to realize that.

I carry Caress Body Wash in Tempting Whisper to clean my hands. The scent lasts throughout the day!

Comfort is important. I wanna put jeans on and kind of forget about them unless someone is giving me a compliment on how they look. You don't want to be fussing all day, especially as a working woman or a mom running around with kids.

I think being independent gives you a different confidence about yourself. It gives you more power, especially in certain relationships.

My mom just always taught me to let people live, let people be who they are without restrictions, without limitations.

I definitely pray.

I'm always down to switch up my scents and love discovering new products.

There's many sides to a coin and one person can in fact do a lot of different things.

I hate chapped lips. I absolutely hate chapped lips.

If you feel good about yourself on the inside, that's gonna show to people. I don't think it's all about makeup and hair and how you dress. I think it's more of an inner thing and how you feel about yourself and that's ultimately what will shine through no matter what.

I've had jeans I liked a lot of things about, but then there would be one thing I didn't like, whether it was the bottom not being fitted enough or the top squeezed you too much.

If you smell good, you feel good, and your day's fabulous.

I think people can read authenticity and they know when you're involved and when you're just slapping your name on something.

I learned that life is filled with ups and downs and it's just about how you react to them.

When you're in this world, you don't get to pick and choose what you go through.

Whenever I do Zoom teeth whitening my teeth 'zing' so bad. They're so sensitive. But I just put this on my toothbrush with water and scrub hard. It doesn't taste like anything and it works!

Marriage is hard.

I went through that phase where I shaved the entire side of my head off - I actually love the way it looks, but it doesn't really work when you're walking into a room for an audition.

I was told MTV VJs have no career after MTV, and I'm like, that's never going to be me. I was always about not feeding into the negativity and proving to people that I can do more than one thing.

There's no gift more classic and more beautiful than roses.

I love Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. You see the love, and you can see the support, and they partner on things and produce together. But she has a life, and he has a life.

I think I've gotten really good at putting on lashes. I can do it with my hand while people need tweezers or something to put them on.

I definitely don't feel like I'm what Hollywood thinks of when they think of a Latina actress at all. They can't wrap their minds around it.

I refuse to take no for an answer on anything.

I love Rihanna's products from Fenty Beauty.

I live for my son.

That is my priority, that my son is healthy and happy. I will do whatever I can to ensure that, and my husband is the exact same way.

I actually speak Spanish fluently.

The industry just hasn't been thinking outside the box when it comes to Latina women.

When I moved to Los Angeles to be on the radio, there was an acting school on every corner. You can't be in L.A. and not be into acting.

You can have a passion for something, but you still have to pay the bills.

I have a very strong faith in God, and I have a strong family base.

I'm very forthcoming, I'm really expressive.

I definitely had to take a lot of direction from stylists and make up artists and hair stylists, because I'm very much more of a sweat pants and sneakers kind of girl.

When I go to these auditions, I feel like I have to prove myself 10 times over... acting is a challenge.

I see myself stepping more heavily into the producing world. I like having that control, and being in control so to speak, and being part of picking great material and bringing it to life.

There's something great about life when you can do something you enjoy.

I want to expand what I do and definitely focus a little more in the acting, theater world.

It's a common issue that you see out there, where some families aren't as accepting of what people choose to be in their life.

Just to be a part of anything that Queen Latifah is involved in is an honor, because she's such an amazing person and an amazing actress.

I'm a gambler and love slot machines.

I'm terrified of mice or any type of rodent.

I pray every morning and night before bed.

My eyes change colors - weird!

My wallet is full of change. I'm like, Why is this bag so heavy? Oh, yeah. It's the $100 in quarters!
